Learning at the old speed of work
Employees today face intense pressure. They’re expected to master new tools, adapt to shifting priorities, and meet customer demands all while navigating a rapidly evolving technology landscape. Staying productive now means learning and adapting faster than ever before.
The numbers tell the story:
- 39% of core skills are expected to change by 2030 (WEF, The Future of Jobs Report 2025)
- 43% of employers report that the increased pace of work has accelerated the demand for new skills (SHRM, 2025 Talent Trends)
- Yet only 24% of workers feel confident that they have the skills necessary for career advancement (ADP Media Center, ADP Research 2025)
As skills’ life spans shorten, the need for upskilling has never been greater. But three key frictions are holding employees back:
- Unfocused learning
Employees often have to pause their work just to hunt for the right course or resource. Learning lives elsewhere, in portals, catalogs, or emails, breaking their focus and momentum.
- Misaligned growth
Even motivated learners struggle when training doesn’t match their current skills or goals. When learning feels irrelevant, progress slows and engagement drops.
- Fragmented knowledge
Organizational knowledge is often scattered across SharePoint, wikis, and file drives. Finding the right answer takes time employees don’t have, leaving valuable insights buried and unused.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Cornerstone for Microsoft Copilot, an AI agent that delivers personalized skill-based learning and instant knowledge discovery directly within Microsoft 365 Copilot. All in the flow of work.
